Pirate Bay to Bring back OiNK as BOiNK

The Pirate Bay To Bring Back OiNKWritten by Ernesto on October 26, 2007

The Pirate Bay is currently working on an OiNK replacement in an attempt to bring the hundreds of thousands of music albums back online that disappeared during the raid. The replacement will be released within a week and on the BOiNK.cd domain.

BOiNK will be a little different from OiNK. For instance, the tracker will be public and it will start out with a lot less torrents than OiNK had when it was raided. The success of BOiNK will mainly depend on the former OiNK community, who will be asked to upload their old OiNK torrents.

The most important thing about BOiNK is perhaps the message it sends out to the IFPI and the BPI: It shows that that if you stop one tracker, others will pop up days after. It is a hydra. Call it a slap in the face if you want.

BOiNK will probably be ready in a few days. People from the Pirate Bay, Mininova, TorrentFreak and even the recently arrested (and released) OiNK admin are currently at The Oil of the 21st Century conference where they are - among other things - discussing filesharing, culture and copyright related issues.

BOiNK is a Pirate Bay only project, OiNK and other BitTorrent sites are not involved.

In the meantime, please stay away from scam sites that pretend to be related to OiNK. All they will do is take your money and run away. As soon as there’s an approved donation campaign (if there will be any) we will report it here.

Rumours from people who have seen it say oink.cx.la will be a closed site with no open registration and no invites. Only the old oink community (they have the userdata so everybody can login and will have their old ratio too!)

ROFLMAO! You could not have incriminated your scam site any further than by this admission. So no one who doesnt donate will be able to report back whether the site is real or not? How convenient!

I'm taking bets to see how long the "launch" keeps getting postponed beyond Nov 1st.

Oink.cx.la is real and OiNK himself has said this in Berlin where he is now at the p2p conference with Piratebay etc.

Just cos you fucking idiot ex-piggy Oink mod who nobody liked have lost all your power stop lying to the people who just want oink back. You could have brought it back but you prefer to sit on irc all day and procrastinate. Good we have OINK.CX.LA and therefore OINK back on Nov 1!

I'm laughing so hard I have tears in my eyes. I'm not Paine, you moron.

BTW- I have a great idea for cx.la. Why dont you let the old userbase login for a day for free to see how the site works and that it is legit? The word would surely get around and I'm sure that people would be happy to support your little endeavor once they are convinced that it works.

There's going to be a lot of pink-themed scamsites popping up over the next few weeks, so be aware y'all.

BOiNK doesnt look too promising. OPP took pride in quality. Public trackers are just too filled with leechers and crap. I'd rather see a half dozen smaller Oink type sites popping up in the wake of OPP's demise. This will take time (probably more than a week)

Public trackers are terrible- I will take no part in this bOiNK bullshit.

Also, Oink being at a "p2p conference" sounds like total bullshit- do you think authorities would let someone released on bail leave the country (or for that matter do you think someone so notoriously cautious would take such a risk)?

This is just all so sad. Nothing comes close to OiNK and it will take a while to get everything including all the people in the community back to normal. I dont want a public tracker, and i am browsing other sites and nothing comes close...

No OiNK member would even consider being a part of this.keep in mind that there were 180,000 users .. 178,000 of which were total fucking idiots. in the end, it was only slightly better than a public tracker. 99% of former OPP users are jizzing all over themselves at the thought of never having to keep a torrent seeded and/or having a place to dump their shitty transcodes without getting reamed by TMT. yeah, the future's so bright i gotta wear shades. at least they'll all be in one easy to avoid leper colony of a site. i'll see the worthwhile 1% of you around .. somewhere.

this wont work without having open registration at the very least. If its as public as the pirate bay is, with no sort of account required at all, i cant see anyone sticking around seeding old torrents.

Stuff you should know:

We DO NOT have any invites to give out. Please don't ask or post a comment asking.

Anyone that asks you to donate to OiNK or pay a fee to join "OiNKv2" is a scam.

Comments are now moderated. The scammers, while polite to us, have hit the tipping point.

This site will still remain as the best aggregator of OiNK related news and replacements.

We hold nothing against Paine (the former OiNK mod. He comes across as prudent and pragmatic to us). His tone isn't the most friendly but we're not complaining. We find it somewhat refreshing even though a little off-putting.

Keep in mind that on TEH INTERNETZ it is hard to verify ANYTHING. While we have no reason to not believe our sources please consider that there is often no irrefutable proof of anything born and raised online.

Based on hype alone: Who do you think will replace OiNK?
